Stock Indices Fulfilling Downside Objectives;
DJIA Comes 'Full Circle' in 2 Years!
Intermediate Low is Imminent...

06/21/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "
Stock indices have nearly fulfilled the outlook for a decline into the 22-23-week/5-month low-low-low-low Cycle Progression (March 2007 low--August 2007 low--January 2008--June/July 2008 low)... The weekly 21 MACs should turn back down in the coming week, reinforcing near-term bearishness... This prompts a review of some longer-term cycles and expectations.
   ...The DJIA fulfilled a 31-33 week low-low-high-high-high Cycle Progression with its mid-May peak.  Previously, with its major, 17-Year Cycle top in October 2007, it had fulfilled a larger-degree, 64-65 week low-low-high Cycle Progression.  Both of these project a 3-6 month turning point - a little more likely to be a secondary high - in January 2009.  If this is to be the case, it would not surprise me to see the indices bottom in the coming weeks, consolidate (with an intervening peak around Sept. 8--19th) and then set another low 22-23 weeks in the future (around late-November/ early-December 2008)... before a rebound into January 2009.
   ...There are multiple Elliott Wave factors, however, that pinpoint 10,572--10,683/DJIA as a 3-6 month downside objective and a 6-12 month level of support."

07/02/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "
Stock Indices are poised to continue dropping into the final day of their 22-23 week cycle low in the DJIA & S+P.  This would likely allow for the SPU to reach its intermediate downside target... If so, it would be the 2nd index to confirm the next stage of a projected 2-3 year bear market that is capable of ultimately shaving 35-50% off the value of the indices (by 2010).  The DJIA has already confirmed the next phase of this scenario and is on track for an intermediate drop to 10,572--10,683..."

07/12/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "
The DJIA has come full circle from 2 years ago.  In July 2006, the DJIA began a 12-15 month advance that took it up into the 17-Year Anniversary of its mid-July 1990 peak and then into the 17-Year Anniversary of its October 11, 1990 low.  In the 9 months that ensued, the DJIA has given back all of those gains... In May 2006, the DJIA closed at 11,168.  In June 2006, the DJIA closed at 11,150.  In July 2006, the DJIA closed at 11,185.  On July 11, 2008, the DJIA closed at 11,100.  So...
    Is the recent drop enough to fulfill the first Elliott Wave downside target at 10,572--10,683/DJIA?  If the weekly & monthly closes are used (instead of the intraday lows), the answer is yes.  Also, the S+P just tested its mid-2006 low (1229.2) The indices remain down until daily closes above 11,270/DJIA, 1261.7/SPU & 1861/NQU.  Consistent with the NQU weekly trend pattern & HLS - as well as the early-week action of the past week - the indices gave another week of downside.  Now comes decision time..."

Stocks Entering 'Decision Time' for Low...
Rebound into September 8--19th Expected!



Gold & Silver Fulfilling 'B' Wave Targets;
985.0/GC & 1950.0/SI = Key Levels...
Reversal Lower Signaled!

7/15/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "Gold
& Silver surged perfectly to their 1/1 upside wave targets (985.0/GCQ & 1950/SIU) and could see some consolidation in the coming days.  1--4 week traders should have been long August Gold 960 call options from an avg. of 7.00 and exited - after a quick surge of over 400% - at 32.00 pts. w/avg. gains of about $2,500/option." FUTURES TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK. SEE HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DISCLAIMER.

07/19/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   
"Gold & Silver surged precisely to their upside targets - at 985.0/GCQ & 1950.0/SIU (fulfilling a 1/1 wave relationship when compared to the previous rally) - and reversed lower.  By the end of the week, Gold had created a weekly key reversal lower while Silver generated a weekly 2 Close Reversal lower.  This could/should prompt additional downside... Another factor that could signal an intermediate reversal lower is the weekly 21 MAC...

   This channel will turn down in Gold with a drop below 914.2/GCQ in the coming week or below 940.0/GCQ in the following week.  It will turn down in Silver with a drop below 1831.0/SIU in the coming week (a good probability, barring a gap higher).  Gold & Silver have also given multiple neutral signals - to their weekly downtrends - without turning these trends to up.  This increases the potential for a new decline in the coming weeks.

Gold & Silver Fulfill Upside Targets
1-2 Month Decline Expected

 

Gold Remains on Track for Drop to 793.9/GC;
'B' Wave Rally into mid-July Expected...
July 22nd Ushers in Next Down Cycle!

06/21/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "Gold
& Silver are slowly giving additional signs that they could see a rally to new 2-month highs, though not likely above their March peaks.  If so, it would likely be a 'c' wave of a 'B' wave bounce... that would then give way to a larger-degree 'C' wave decline.

   The weekly 21 MAC - particularly in Silver - corroborates this and indicates that metals need to rally in the coming weeks if they (primarily Silver) are going to keep this channel positive.  The daily trends are also validating this.  The ideal scenario - incorporating the greatest number of cycles and indicators - would be for Gold & Silver to rally a little further and then pull back into July 1st or 2nd.  This should then give way to a rally into July 21--24th."


06/28/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "Gold
& Silver gave strong validation to analysis that they are still in a 'B' wave rally and should surge to new 2-month highs (even though they are currently not expected to exceed their March 2008, major peaks)... The minimum (1/1) price objective for this wave is at 949.2/GCQ, which could be seen in the coming week...

   The weekly 21 MAC continues to be a key factor.  As described last week, it corroborated projections for a new rally since the metals needed to rally in the coming weeks if they were going to keep this channel positive.  Silver kept its weekly 21 MAC heading higher while Gold is poised to turn its back up in the coming week... This channel could again have an important impact in the second half of July, coinciding with the weekly trend pattern.  Both indicators could provide the potential for a new decline with the strongest (negative) influence emerging around mid-month."
[emphasis added]

07/09/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "Gold
& Silver pulled back to begin the week, testing weekly support without reversing their daily trends to down, and could be on the verge of another decent surge.  If it is a similar 1/1 wave relationship (as Currencies could see), it would place Gold above 985.0/GCQ and Silver around 1950.0/SIU... in a short period of time.

07/12/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "
As stated on Wednesday, Gold had/has the potential to surge to 985.0/GCQ while Silver could reach 1950.0/SIU... Within 24 hours, both metals were on their way again... and the surge continued into Friday.  It is likely to extend into the coming week... So, there is still a good chance that this is a 'B' wave rally that will not exceed the mid-March highs.  On a near-term basis, Gold & Silver corroborated their 985.0/CGQ & 1950.0/SIU targets by creating weekly resistance levels (raw SPR & HHR) in the same range (see above)."

'C' Wave Should Drop into September/October
Dollar Poised for Retest of Lows;
July Low Should Yield Surge into September!

06/25/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "...
the Dollar Index also has a (16-)17 week low-low-low-low Cycle Progression that comes into play during the week of July 14--18th (a couple trading days before July 22nd).  A decline into that week would also complete a 1-year/360-degree high-low-low Cycle Progression, connecting the mid-to-late July 2006 high, mid-to-late July 2007 low and a July 14--18th, 2008 low."

07/02/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:

   "The Dollar Index keeps validating analysis for a decline into July 21--23rd, the most significant cycle of the next 4-6 weeks.  At the very least, it is expected to drop into the week of July 14--18th when a (16-)17 week low-low-low-low Cycle Progression comes into play."


07/05/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "
The Dollar fulfilled the 2-3 month outlook by rallying into mid-June and has since pulled back... The weekly 21 MAC (and the intra-year trend) should keep pressure on the Dollar for another couple weeks.  However, this channel will begin to lose its negative impact - barring a drop to new lows - in 3-4 weeks.  So, several key indicators and cycles point to early-August as the time frame with the best potential for a new Dollar rally."

July 14--23rd = Critical Time Frame
Dollar Rally Should Suppress Commodity Prices
   
The 2-Step Reversal is a rare but powerful trading pattern that usually indicates a critical top or bottom in a market.

Cyclical Warming Peaking
150-Year Record Lows Repeatedly Broken
10-30-06 - "Oct. 12, 2006 saw record breaking cold or snow in Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas, Florida and many states in between...The winter of 2000 - 2001 saw America experiencing the 'coldest two-month period on record' in Nov. & Dec. 2000 (based on data from NOAA scientists). This broke a record set in 1898 & occurred in 43 out of 48 contiguous states (a statistically significant proportion)... And, this cold was felt in other continents as well...So, the low temperatures keep getting lower???

   ...the lowest temperature ever recorded east of the Mississippi River?...It's on February 4, 1996...record cold that gripped Russia, Georgia (the country), the Ukraine and parts of Europe in January 2006. This came shortly after cold records were set in N. America - from Montana to Illinois - during December 2005. Cold records were also being broken in May and June 2006...February 2005 set various records of cold in Australia..."

Dollar Nearing Peak;
Initial Surge Culminating...

08/13/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "
The Dollar Index is in the midst of the most likely week for a peak - based on the weekly trend pattern (in the Euro), the weekly LHR indicator and geometric cycles.  However, it needs a daily close below 75.69/DXU to give even the first sign of a short-term peak.  Until that occurs, the short and intermediate trends remain up.

   The Euro needs a weekly close below 1.4968/ECU to reverse its weekly trend to down and to confirm analysis for a 3-6 month peak in July.  As a result, the Euro could stretch its current decline into week-end before a reactionary bounce takes hold.  It will not show any signs of near-term strength until a daily close above 1.5057/ECU.


   The Yen gave a rally to weekly resistance and the low of the month-opening range... and quickly reversed back down.  It, too, has the potential to extend this decline into the end of the week (and middle of the month) before a low becomes more likely.

Gold & Silver Remain Negative;
'C' Wave Decline Confirmed...
795/GC & 1363/SI Still Projected!

8/09/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "Gold
& Silver have given the strongest reinforcement to analysis for a 'C' wave decline (that is targeted for 775--795.5/GC & 1339.5--1363.0/SI)... If this decline equals the duration of the 'A' wave decline, it could see a bottom as soon as August 29th.  However, longer-term cycles would allow for this decline to stretch into October (with the 'C' wave potentially doubling the duration of the 'A' wave decline).

   If this is going to be the case, it would not be surprising to see Gold & Silver bottom by mid-month and then rebound for 1-2 weeks.  This is mildly corroborated by the fact that Silver is entering the week of the 1-year anniversary (360 degrees) from its mid-August 2007 low.


   From a price perspective, this decline could also extend down to yearly support and the most important level of 'resistance turned into support' (the May 2006 peak), which combine at 714--732.0/GC... 1239--1274.5/SI is yearly support for Silver..."

Initial Low Possible Mid-August;
1-2 Week Rally Could Follow
Stocks Indices Rallying;
11,847/DJIA = 1st Target...

08/06/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "...
Stock Indices are a perfect example, having attacked intermediate downside targets (and 1-2 year support levels) in July and quickly reversing higher.  Even before this low was intact, it was projected to lead to a subsequent rebound from mid-July into September 8--19th... which remains the case.


   The first stage of this rally is capable of extending into August 18/19th... From a price perspective, this rally should take the DJIA back up to 12,000--12,100 in the near-term... One possible scenario, given the Aug. 12th cycle, is that the DJIA could rally to 11,738--11,847 in the coming days and then pull back.  This would then usher in a potential rally to 12,000--12,100/DJIA, leading into August 18/19th."

Stocks Indices Turning Up;
Rally into August Underway...

07/19/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "...
The DJIA has completed a full circle/cycle from 2 years ago, retracing nearly 100% of the 12-15 month advance (beginning in July 2006)... the DJIA has given strong validation and reinforcement to ongoing analysis for a 2-3 year, 35-50% decline from late-2007 into early-2010.

   ...On a 1-2 week basis, 11,100--11,150/DJIA should now be viewed as a crucial level of support.  11,100/DJIA is now the weekly 2nd Close Support level... The daily trend has turned up in the DJIA and neutral (from down) in the SPU... the fact the DJIA & NQU gave weekly 2 Close Reversals higher indicates that an overall advance could stretch into August."

Dollar Signaling Low;
2-3 Month Surge Expected!

07/19/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "
The Dollar & Euro may be showing signs of a reversal... the intra-week action of this past week AND the resulting action of the weekly trend is showing that an intermediate low could have been set this past week (which would be within the + or - 1 week normal range of error for cycles of this magnitude).

   The Dollar Index spiked down to weekly AND monthly support and produced a midweek low & an intra-week V Reversal higher, when the dust had cleared.  It also generated the 2nd neutral signal to the weekly uptrend.  This identifies the coming week as the most likely for a reversal higher... with or without a spike low.  The fact it was able to give a weekly key reversal higher (while the Euro did the opposite and the Yen gave a weekly 2 Close Reversal lower) also hints that a low could be intact...

   The Euro - as just mentioned - spiked to a new high and gave a weekly key reversal lower.  It would need to close below 1.5639/ECU - on Friday, July 25th - to escalate this to a weekly 2 Close Reversal lower and to signal that an intermediate peak is in place...

   The Yen did reach its first upside target - and key resistance - at .9611--.9630/JYU (where a 1/1 wave relationship, the weekly LHR, the weekly 8 Low MARC and the weekly 21 Low AMAC converged) and reversed lower.  By giving 2 neutral signals to its weekly downtrend and then creating a weekly 2 Close Reversal lower, the Yen is signaling a new wave down.

   ...1--4 week traders should have been long Sept. Yen futures - from an avg. entry around .9328/JYU - and should have exited 1/2 at .9603/JYU, w/avg. gains of about $3,450/ contract.  The other 1/2 should have been exited at .9489 w/avg. gains of about $2,000/contract, resulting in an overall avg. gain - for the entire position - of about $2,725/contract.  FUTURES TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK.  SEE HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DISCLAIMER."

Stocks Indices at Support;
Low Possible at Any Time!

07/15/08 Weekly Re-Lay Alert:
   "...
the most important level on the downside remains 10,572--10,683/ DJIA, which incorporates multiple Elliott Wave objectives and retracement levels, 6-12 month support and July's monthly support.  As also explained, it represents the potential midpoint of an overall 2-3 year bear market.  If this is the case, it would be normal for it to represent support now - and for the next 3-6 months - and then resistance later (once the market has broken below it).

   ...keep in mind that the DJIA has tested the related monthly & weekly close support levels... so a bottom could come at any point between now and 10,572."

Stocks Reinforce Bearishness;
Decline into June 23rd Likely...

06/14/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "The DJIA & S+P are still expected to move progressively lower into late-June/early-July... The SPU reversed its weekly trend to down, joining the DJIA in this action  This indicates that further downside is likely, reinforcing the ongoing analysis for a decline into the 22-23-week/5-month low-low-low-low Cycle Progression (March 2007 low--August 2007 low--January 2008--June/July 2008 low) in the coming weeks."

Stocks Trigger Sell Signal;
Cycle Low in Late-June/early-July

05/24/08 Weekly Re-Lay:
   "
Stock indices are signaling that they have entered a (minimum) 2-3 week correction and that they are on track for a (minimum) drop below 12,300/DJIA... All three indices remain below their early-2008 peaks and were able to generate weekly (outside-week) 2 Close Reversal sell signals... a 22-23-week/5-month cycle, which has separated and distinguished the most recent 3 lows (of at least 4 months in duration)... in March 2007, August 2007 & January 2008.  Its next occurrence is in late-June/early-July (which is also the 2-year anniversary of the June/July 2006 lows) and - based on the fact the two recent phases were descending lows - is more likely to be a low again."
